Chapter 106 In the eyes of the First Emperor, Zhao Si showed her beauty!

It was not that the First Emperor was not interested in what Zhao Si called universal education.

Da Qin currently has many problems, one of which is the lack of execution among grassroots officials after the country was unified.

The First Emperor was very pleased that Zhao Si could see the current problem, but the Qin Dynasty was currently doing too many things at the same time, especially before the new grains were fully popularized in the local area. There were too many things being done, and good things might turn into bad things.

There is no distinction between good and bad in conducting national affairs, and it is impossible to have policies that satisfy the interests of everyone.

As long as everything is done, there must be contradictions. There are already enough contradictions in the Qin Dynasty at the moment. The First Emperor knows that the current Qin Dynasty is like a raging fire cooking oil.

As a master of extreme micro-management, the First Emperor knew that Zhao Si's popular education to win over poor people had to be done, but it was definitely not now.

What he wants to do is to push the empire to its limit and keep it operating at a high speed, rather than to cause conflicts to explode and bring the empire to a halt.

"The new grain has not yet spread everywhere..." The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si and nodded slightly.

Zhao Si nodded slightly and understood why the First Emperor was not too cold now. It was not that the First Emperor did not see the benefits, but that Da Qin did not have enough foundation at the moment and did not have the energy to do unnecessary things. During the Qin Shi Huang period, Da Qin had too many things going on at the same time.

There are too many... so many that they are completely at their limit, building everything at super high speed, communicating with all parts of the world, and unifying writing and customs... It only took the First Emperor two or three decades to accomplish most of these things.

"However, these things must be taken out." The First Emperor said after pondering for a moment.

"In this case, if the craftsmen from Lantian Daying are transferred to Lang Zhongling, you can also transfer craftsmen from Shaofu for your use." The First Emperor spoke, expressing high support for papermaking and printing.

Just because you don’t do it now doesn’t mean you won’t do it in the future.

How could the First Emperor not want to solve the problem of insufficient execution among Da Qin officials?

"In that case, can I ask for some titles and rewards?" Zhao Si said with a smile.

"Oh?" A meaningful smile appeared on the Emperor's face.

Asking for rewards before things are done is not what a minister would do...

However, surprisingly, the First Emperor did not express dissatisfaction with Zhao Si's almost outrageous request. He just looked at Zhao Si quietly, waiting for Zhao Si's explanation.

Zhao Si, a young man, was not capable enough to lead the implementation of a policy, but he was able to put forward eye-catching suggestions, and sometimes even enlightened the First Emperor.

As a person, although he often behaves rashly, he advances and retreats in a measured manner and will not be rash enough to violate other people's bottom lines...

Even the First Emperor himself had never noticed that Zhao Si now had an extra layer of filters in his eyes, just like Zhao Si had turned beautiful in the eyes of the First Emperor... Obviously, the First Emperor did not believe that Zhao Si would do something so mindless.

matter.

Even though Wang Jian repeatedly asked for rewards during the march, it was essentially to stigmatize himself. There was a tacit understanding between the emperor and his ministers, and the First Emperor did not think bad things about Zhao Si at all.

"It's like this. The title and reward I seek are not for other things, but as a reward." Zhao Si said.

"Although Da Qin currently has a reward system for craftsmen, it is too vague, and the maximum cannot exceed Bu Gen. I think it is inappropriate." Zhao Si said.

The Qin State had rewards for inventions and creations. For example, if some farmers improved their farming methods and could increase grain production, they would be sent to the county government for discussion and rewards.

Some craftsmen who can make tools that improve efficiency will also receive rewards.

It's just that firstly, the effort is not proportional to the reward, and secondly, the reward definition is too vague, and there is a maximum limit.

The highest reward can only be up to the rank of nobility, that is to say, the advanced reward cannot be completed until the rank of doctor is reached. If it is not above the rank, there will be no reward.

This law was formulated by Lord Shang himself. The purpose of giving rewards to craftsmen who were good at farming was to give full play to the subjective initiative of craftsmen and farmers, increase food production, and enhance the benefits of tools.

Don’t give too much and don’t change the upper limit because Qin is a country of farming and war. If you don’t change the upper limit, you will be a doctor. With the title of doctor, you can become a general on the battlefield and an official can rule in one place.

This is a rigid rule. The official and title system at this time are complementary to each other, and one must have real meritorious service before he can serve as a general or in government.

Even the descendants of the clan have to join the battle, otherwise the ancestral temple will not give them salaries.

If there is no upper limit on the rewards for inventions and creations, I am afraid that there will be people who hide at home and find other ways to gain merit in order to avoid going to the battlefield. You don't have to start from a petty official or a soldier on the battlefield.

This goes against the original intention of the Legalist idea that strong generals should start from the army and prime ministers should start from the state department.

You must know that in this era, the great nobles have their own system in their families, and they have countless craftsmen in captivity... If you give them a chance to brush up their titles, there will be generals of the Qin Army and county magistrates of Da Qin, who have no experience in grassroots work.

The phenomenon of taking office directly.

This is the main reason why Qin is the only country with a clear incentive plan for inventions and creations, but it has not been able to promote the development of science and technology in big steps.

The national conditions are here, and the rewards are too few.

However, as the only country during the Warring States Period that made rewards for inventions and creations a clear set of rules and regulations that could be implemented in place, Qin's craftsmen were far better than those of the Six Kingdoms.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Si invented salt making and horseshoeing, but his title did not increase significantly. At the point where Zhao Si was, the inventions he made could only be considered as political achievements in the evaluation of the First Emperor, and

It cannot be redeemed and distributed as direct credit.

Shang Yang had already considered it very clearly when he formulated the relevant laws. Qin's farming and warfare system would not be allowed to be damaged in any way. This was the foundation of Qin and no loopholes could be left.

But in fact, from Zhao Si's point of view, if someone could make muskets and cannons, improve Da Qin's smelting system, and produce blast furnace steel, then it would not be an exaggeration to grant him a title.

Of course... Zhao Si looked at it from the perspective of more than two thousand years later, and realized that technology is the primary productive force. However, the ancients could only see the present. At best, their vision spans hundreds of years and thousands of years, but in the end they cannot surpass the battle of farming.

Fang is the foundation of the country.

Zhao Si actually had a vague idea in his mind. This time, it was just a small experiment, an experiment to verify some of his conjectures.

How to stimulate the subjective initiative of invention creators, it must be a reward, it must be a generous reward!

Zhao Si knows the general direction and can save inventors of this era from a lot of trial and error steps.

Zhao Si can directly show them the way forward!

"For papermaking and printing, I want to be rewarded with a noble title, three non-renewable titles, and a lower title. I boldly ask your majesty to give me the right to do things expediently." Zhao Si bowed and spoke.

Completing class leaps through invention and creation is something that the Qin State dared not even think about, but Zhao Si wants to make this happen!

Of course...he is not going against Shang Jun.

Zhao Si agreed very much with the concept that prime ministers must start from the state headquarters, and strong generals must be sent to the army, and Zhao Si had no intention of destroying it.

So, is there a way that can not destroy the farming and warfare system of the Qin State, and not destroy the premise that the prime minister starts from the state, and the fierce generals are sent to the army, but at the same time... let the inventors and creators get enough incentives?

Zhao Si plans to do a small experiment!

As a time traveler, Zhao Si knows his own advantages. No matter how many books he has read, his advantage does not lie in politics.

Rather, it is to promote the development and change of the times!
